(this cuvée is composed by 7 different lieux-dits that include both Les and Aux Combottes, Feusselottes, Gruenchers, Les Plantes, Chabiots, Chatelots). Here there is no reductive funk to the airy aromas of spiced red cherry that are surrounded by moderate oak toast. The sleek, supple and rounded barely middle weight flavors possess a sophisticated mouthfeel that carries over to the graceful finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose resurfaces. This is also pretty but I am somewhat concerned that there is enough mid-palate density to completely integrate the wood treatment though my projected range offers the benefit of the doubt.
